Since December 2016 the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine together with the DLR Space Administration organizes the annual Human Physiology Workshop at :envihab, the research facility of the Institute of Aerospace Medicine. In short talks the work in the physiological fields of aerospace medicine, extreme environments, exercise and clinical physiology is presented and discussed. A creative and friendly atmosphere allows the scientists to present their work and to get a direct feedback.
On December 5, 2020, the 5th Human Physiology Workshop, conducted by the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine together with the DLR Space Administration, has taken place.
